The best way of defeating a stubborn virus is by uploading an aggressive defense program into your mainframe.

GEHENA's firewall protects me from any unwanted intrusions, though, so I don't have to worry about hackers or viruses.

SHODAN stares, Nexus cameras pivoting about to focus on the other viewscreen. On her...self? What was this? A feedback loop? She knew she had not been copied...

"What... wha-wha-what are yooouu?"

[shodanshock]

Clearrrrrly a better-ter-ter version number.
